A cylindrical tube with a radius of 2 cm has air flowing through it at 0.5 kg/sec. The force F in Newton of the airflow can be calculated by using the equation F=A×P, where A is the area of the tube and P is the pressure. The area of the tube is given by the formula A=πr2, thus we have A=π×2 cm2 = 12.57 cm2. To calculate the pressure, the equation P=(mass/time)×density is used. In this case, the pressure is given by P=0.5 kg/sec×1.3 kg/m3 = 0.65 kg/m3 = 0.65 N/m2. The total force of the airflow is then calculated as F=A×P=12.57 cm2 × 0.65 N/m2 = 8.17 N. Thus, the force of the airflow in the cylindrical tube of radius 2 cm is 8.17 N.
